Wish List / Re: New graphs: Delta and Rate of Rise

I see that it is already available data. 

Was too quick with the trigger finger in posting.

Danny

If I am reading this right, datalogging in RM allows for delta between the ET and BT, but not RoR data from the BT?

I was about ready to buy a phidget/bluetherm and roast wirelessly with my ipad, but as Dana mentioned, RoR is crucial to some folks - me in particular.   I can't live without them and would love to see them somehow in RM - unless I am missing something.

Til then I am forced to stick with artisan - but would much prefer the freedom and ios based option with RM  :D

Thanks

I have some more questions regarding the roast screen.

I have attached the snapshot below.

I did a test - fake roast.  Created 3 curves and hit FC 2C and stopped it.

How do I stop it for good and save it as a profile to bring up later?  Is that creating a snapshot?   

There is a DONE button but cannot be pressed.  I can start and stop the roast again.  I would like it saved as a snapshot to play with so I can bring up the same curves again without recreating them.

When I tab through the different curves, one is a blank - is that supposed to happen?

The FC and 2C timer have the same time - the total roast time.  How would I get it so that the timers refer to the time to FC and 2C rather than total time?

Thanks.   I seearched through the help section.  It talks about creating profiles and snapshots but I didnt see exactly how.

I will keep these questions coming until you ban me for annoyance  8)

It's just like me to have something like that happen first live roast. 

If it happens again, I'll know to send you the database rather than deleting it.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll have more questions    :o

Thanks, Danny.

Wireless temps?  Yes, please!  That would be revolutionary.  :)

I will second Dennis' thought.

I went through the crash course but I am still working on using the app by trial and error.

A simple, how to is needed.  eg - in 'crash course' - starting the first roast - it is not really helpful in telling the new user what to do.   Something simple would be great like step by step going from nothing to starting the roast to during the roast to after the roast.

I think the app is great - I am not piling it on - but I went to med school and I dont know the first thing about relational databases or managing the detailed help section.  I just want to know how to get started with the app  and then I can let experience teach me more ;D

A posted tutorial would do wonders!

Hi Danny

I was unable to duplicate it.  I am using ios 5.0

I also deleted that roast.  I got a normal timer when I tested again.

I sent you what I have in the file.

As far as the second question - that persists.  Select new item in roast details - I choose my bean and it stays blank.  Again I only chose the name of the bean because its a commercial blend of which I am unaware of the details.

Thanks, Danny.  I am going to get to know the app well.  I am not deterred.

Just downloaded the ipad version.

I started with a live roast after practicing with 'fake' beans.

1.  During the live roast, the timer started counting DOWN from 30:00.  How did that happen?  It then created havoc trying to input temps because the graph never progressed or moved and some of the values weren't showing up on the screen.

I wound up roasting blind.

2.   I put in the name of my beans but without country or other info because I dont know it.  I am roasting metropolis greenline.  It doesn't show up on the roast screen.  it's blank.  I can choose it - but it doesnt populate the roast screen.

Early frustrations but I have hope!
